If you show up at the emergency department at LGH you will see a sign urging you to report if you have traveled to West Africa and have symptoms like fever or vomiting.

Hospital officials say it is part of the preparation for a possible Ebola patient.

Dr. Joseph Kontra, medical director at LGH, says it is remaining up to-date with the Center of Disease Control and Prevention recommendations and is carefully relooking at all processes to be able to handle case should it arise.

LGH says it is in regular contact with the CDC.

If it would have a patient confirmed to have Ebola, the person would more than likely be transferred to one of the specialized centers around the country.
